After Chaucer had breakfast, he left for his office. Mila immediately called her parents to ask if they were free. After receiving a reply, she immediately sent Chaucer a message. “They’re free this weekend, so let’s do it then.”

Mila had met Chaucer’s grandfather a long time ago, but she had never seen his parents before. She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. It was said a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law was difficult to get along with. At the thought of this, Mila couldn’t stay calm anymore. She immediately went online to look for information on how to interact with her mother-in-law and what to wear for their first meeting.

She opened the closet and looked around. None of the clothes seemed appropriate. The dresses were either too short or not classy enough.

Mila immediately called Elaine and asked her to go shopping together. She needed to get some clothes to meet her in-laws.

They went straight to Fortune Mall. The clothes sold there had good fabric and workmanship. Of course, the price was several times more expensive than in other places.

After they met, Elaine kept probing Mila for information on Theo.

Mila quickly realized that. “Elaine, be honest with me. Do you have feelings for Theo?”

“I have a good impression of him. He’s handsome and kind.”

Elaine was a carefree person. She spoke her mind boldly without any hesitation.

“Last night, did you…” Mila dragged her voice and looked at Elaine meaningfully.

“I wanted to,” Elaine sighed. “But he’s not flirtatious at all. I invited him to come upstairs for a while, but he refused.”

“Theo is a star student. He’s focused on his studies and on the conservative side. He hasn’t interacted much with girls,” Mila said with a smile.

Actually, it wasn’t that Theo didn’t like Elaine, but he felt it was the first time they had met, and it was better to keep a distance. Besides, Elaine was a female celebrity. If she was photographed returning to her place with a man late at night, it would definitely cause her trouble.

“Mila, I really didn’t believe in love at first sight, but after meeting Theo, I believe it. No reason is needed when you fall in love with someone.”

“Then go after him! Theo is a great guy.”

Mila was very supportive of them being together. When they were drinking together last night, the two of them got along very well, and Theo even took the initiative to say Elaine’s name.

“With your support, I’ll be even more motivated. I must become Theo’s girlfriend!” Elaine said seriously.

“Elaine, I really didn’t expect this! You’ve only met once, and you already want him so badly?”

Mila was only joking, but unexpectedly, Elaine nodded without hesitation. “I must take him down, marry him, and give birth to his child! My surname is Lewis, and his surname is Shaw. What do you think our child’s name should be?”

Mila couldn’t help but laugh. “Work hard and let me attend your wedding as soon as possible!”

“Of course! I’m in a good mood today. Buy whatever you want. I’ll pay!” After saying that, Elaine pulled Mila into a luxuriously decorated shop.

“Don’t regret it!”

“I can afford that. Spend as much as you want, as long as you give me more information on Theo in the future.”

The two of them chatted and shopped. They visited a few shops in a row, but Mila couldn’t find anything she liked.

“Mila, that man looks like your husband!”

Elaine had never seen Chaucer before. She had only seen that wedding photo, but Chaucer was too handsome to be missed. Standing in the crowd, he looked like a crane among chickens.

“Where?” Mila looked around but didn’t see Chaucer.

Elaine pointed in a direction. “He was there just now, but when I looked again, he was gone.”

“That’s unlikely. He must be at the office at this hour.”

Although Mila didn’t know much about Chaucer’s work, she knew he was very busy. He still had to work when he got home. How would he have time to shop at the mall?

“I must have made a mistake. There was a group of people behind that man. They were all nodding and bowing to him. He was probably Fortune Mall’s manager.”

“Let’s go.”

Mila held Lu Yishan’s arm and visited more shops.

Meanwhile, in the corridor of the mall, Chaucer was leading a group of people up the stairs.

No one dared to ask why Chaucer insisted on taking the stairs instead of taking the elevator. They guessed Mr. Chapman just wanted to exercise.

Jason lowered his head and followed behind Chaucer. He tried his best not to laugh. Who would have thought the president of Fortune Corporation would be so frightened to meet his wife in his own territory that he fled in panic and almost jumped out of the building?
